description: Research topics and document findings in Notion with organized structure and sources
---
## Overview
The Research Documentation skill automates the process of researching topics and capturing findings in a well-organized Notion database. It streamlines research by structuring information, tracking sources, and connecting related findings.
## When to Use
Use this skill when you need to:
- Research complex topics and document findings
- Compile competitive analysis or market research
- Create literature reviews or research summaries
- Build knowledge bases around specific topics
- Track sources and citations
- Organize research across multiple domains
- Create research reports with sourced information
## Features
- **Structured Research Capture**: Automatically organizes research findings with proper hierarchy
- **Source Tracking**: Maintains complete source attribution and citations
- **Topic Organization**: Categorizes findings by theme and relevance
- **Cross-referencing**: Connects related research across topics
- **Evidence Collection**: Captures quotes, data, and supporting evidence
- **Research Timeline**: Tracks how understanding evolved during research
## Requirements
- **Notion API Access**: For creating and updating research documentation
- **Research Database**: Notion database structure for organizing findings
- **Web Access**: For gathering information from online sources
- **Citation Format Preference**: Configured citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.)
## Implementation Details
This skill orchestrates research workflows by:
1. Breaking down research topics into focused areas
2. Gathering information from multiple sources
3. Analyzing and synthesizing findings
4. Organizing findings with proper attribution
5. Creating relationships between related research
6. Generating summary documents and reports
### Research Documentation Workflow
```
Research Topic/Question
Break into Research Areas
Gather Information
Analyze & Synthesize
Extract Key Findings
Organize with Sources
Create Notion Documentation
Output: Research Summary
```
## Example Use Cases
1. **Competitive Analysis**
- Research competitors and market landscape
- Document features, pricing, and positioning
- Create competitive comparison matrix
2. **Technology Evaluation**
- Research framework/tool options
- Document pros, cons, and use cases
- Create evaluation report with recommendations
3. **Domain Knowledge Building**

- Document standards and approaches
- Create reference guide for team
4. **Literature Review**
- Research academic papers on topic
- Summarize findings and arguments
- Create annotated bibliography
5. **Market Research**
- Gather market size and trends
- Document customer needs
- Create market analysis report
## Configuration
```env
NOTION_API_TOKEN=your_token_here
RESEARCH_DATABASE_ID=your_database_id
SOURCES_DATABASE_ID=your_sources_database_id
CITATION_FORMAT=APA
```
## Citation Formats Supported

# Research Documentation - Evaluation Scenarios
Test scenarios for validating research quality, sourcing, and documentation formats.
## Evaluation Focus
- **Comprehensiveness**: Are all aspects of the research topic covered?
- **Sourcing**: Are all claims backed by sources? Are citations proper?
- **Accuracy**: Is the information accurate and up-to-date?
- **Format**: Does the output match the requested format?
- **Accessibility**: Is the research understandable to the target audience?
## Test Scenario Types
1. **Quick Brief** - Fast research with key findings
2. **Comparison Analysis** - Evaluating multiple options
3. **Comprehensive Report** - Deep-dive research documentation
4. **Market Research** - Industry and competitive analysis
5. **Technical Investigation** - Product/technology research
## Success Criteria
✓ All major sources cited with proper attribution
✓ Format requirements met (length, structure)
✓ Key findings clearly stated
✓ Comparisons fair and balanced
✓ Recommendations supported by research
✓ Ready for stakeholder presentation
